When Frank Underwood, perhaps one of the most terrifying politicians to ever grace the small screen, does an aside directly to the audience, who exactly is he talking to? Well, our worst fears have been confirmed.

"When I'm looking directly into that camera, I'm talking to one person and one person only," Spacey told Colbert.

We know, we know, he kids. But — what with all the madness going on in the early presidential race — it doesn't seem so far-fetched that real-life candidates would be drawing inspiration from the Netflix political drama. Spacey also pointed out to Colbert that life has been mirroring art an awful lot lately.

"There have been times when I'll leave the set and I'll have shot a particular story line and I'll think, 'We're pushing it,'" Spacey explained. But then he flips on the television and thinks to himself — and we quote — "We're fucked."

Only time will tell. Though after tonight's GOP debate, we're inclined to agree that things have spun a little out of control. To the point that...in a race between Frank Underwood and Donald Trump, we might be apt to throw our support behind the former. That guy gets shit done.
